Niagara River in the Canadian province of Ontario and the 182-foot high American Falls on the U.S side of the river in the state of
New York. Approximately 85 per cent of the water that goes over the falls actually goes over Horseshoe Falls, with the rest going
over American Falls.
Most visitors come between April and October , and it is quite a popular activity to take a steamer out onto the river and

visitors per year. Because of concern that all these tourists would inadvertently destroy the natural beauty of this scenic wonder, the
